noo. the atomic bomb was produced to end WW2 and to show the russians we were better.. the only reason they prevent war is because everyone knows their destructive power

The train of thought changed pretty quickly though as governments saw the power of nuclear weapons to prevent war. Nuclear weapons could never really be deployed in a global war due to collateral damage.

So we're all pointing guns to each other right now, in order to prevent shooting anyone down.

Nice.

The big guns, yea. Not the small ones

Why criminals/cops have guns, just to provoke by scaring the target from doing anything stupid. In most cases. Let's just exclude any occasion where the criminal/cop could be a gun triggered moron, like Grace explained

The problem with handling big guns is that you don't only kill the criminal but other 5 million people, y'know.

That's sorta gross.

Unless, there now is a trigger happy moron behind the buttons... we should worry. The only option would to be sacrifice few for the many (seen global population wise) And I agree... strongly! It is gross .
Still, I don't believe there are any war solved through diplomacy/politics only. How could it then be a war? (define war?) (If you exclude the Cold "War")
